This application is a U.S. national stage application of International Application No. PCT/KR2013/000954, which was filed on Feb. 6, 2013 and claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/595,796, which was filed on Feb. 7, 2012. The disclosures of each of these applications are hereby incorporated by references in its entirety for all purposes.

The present invention relates to a novel compound which inhibits diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase type 1 (DGAT1) activity; a preparation method thereof; a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a disease, disorder or condition modulated by DGAT1 inhibition comprising said compound; a method for preventing or treating a disease, disorder or condition modulated by DGAT1 inhibition; and a use of said compound for the manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating a disease, disorder or condition modulated by DGAT1 inhibition.

Fatty acids are a key component of many human metabolic processes and are an important fuel source. Fatty acids are stored in multiple tissues, and often transported within the body in the form of triglycerides (triacylglycerols). Derangements in fatty acid and triglyceride metabolism are characteristic of obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, and other metabolic diseases. A key player in the conversion of fatty acids to triglycerides is the microsomal enzyme diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1). DGAT1 catalyzes the final and only committed step in triglyceride synthesis. More specifically, DGAT1 couples a fatty acid Coenzyme A ester with 1,2-diacylglycerol to produce a triglyceride and Coenzyme A. There are two known DGAT enzymes types 1 and 2, but there is little homology between the two. DGAT1 activity can be detected in a number of mammalian tissues including intestine, liver and adipose. DGAT1 is a key component of triglyceride synthesis in multiple tissues, in the absorption of dietary triglycerides, and in the hepatic synthesis and secretion of triglyceride rich lipoproteins. DGAT1 activity may influence the release of intestinal peptides such as Peptide YY (PYY) and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which play an important role in metabolic processes. The DGAT1 (−/−) knockout mouse is lean and resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. These animals have a higher metabolic rate and increased activity relative to wild type mice. The phenotype of the DGAT1 (−/−) animal suggests that DGAT1 inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of a number of metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Therefore, the present invention provides a novel compound having a medical utility including inhibition of DGAT1 activity, which can be useful in the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder or condition modulated by DGAT1 inhibition, such as obesity-related disorders, type 2 diabetes, or diabetes-related disorders.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel compound having a medical utility including inhibition of DGAT1 activity.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compound as an active ingredient.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for preventing or treating a disease, disorder or condition modulated by DGAT1 inhibition in an individual comprising the step of administering said compound to the individual in need thereof.

It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a use of said compound for the manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating a disease, disorder or condition modulated by DGAT1 inhibition.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compound of formula (IA), (IB) or (IC), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, ester or prodrug thereof:

The compounds of any one of formulas (IA) to (IF) in the present invention can form salts, and therefore the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compounds may be included within the scope of the invention.

The terms “salt” or “pharmaceutically acceptable salt”, as used herein, refers to inorganic or organic salts of a compound. These salts can be prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of any one of formulas (IA) to (IF) with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, and in a medium such as one in which the salt formed then precipitates, or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

Test example illustrates the assay used to determine biological activity (inhibition of DGAT1 activity) of compounds according to the present invention. The utility of the compounds of the present invention, and their use in the practice of the invention for the treatment of a disease, condition, or disorder modulated by DGAT1 inhibition, and for the practice of a method for inhibiting DGAT1 activity, can be evidenced by activity in at least one of protocols described in this Example; and also by the ability of compounds of the invention to inhibit DGAT1 activity as shown in Table 1.

The identification of compounds of the present invention as DGAT1 inhibitors was readily achieved using a radiometric and high throughput screening assay.

For this assay, a source of DGAT1 was needed. In that regard, a commercially available plasmid for expression of DGAT1 (e.g., pCMV6-recombinant human DGAT1 plasmid) was transfected for 24 hours in Hep3B cells. After transfection of the plasmid, human DGAT-1 expression was analyzed by Western blot or RT-PCR using whole cell extracts. For establishment of a human DGAT1 overexpressed stable cell line, the cells were grown and maintained in cell culture medium supplemented with high glucose, 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 200 μg/ml G-418, in a 5% CO2 environment for 4 weeks. Cell pellets thus obtained were resuspended in homogenization buffer [250 mM sucrose, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) and 1 mM EDTA], lysed using a homogenization apparatus, and then cell debris was removed by centrifugation at 600×g for 15 minutes. The harvested cell lysate was shown to have human DGAT1 activity.

A second source of DGAT1 activity was human or mouse liver microsomes.

The identification of the inventive compounds as DGAT inhibitors was readily achieved using a high throughput screening radiometric assay. Human and mouse DGAT activity were determined as follows.

Assay buffer [20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 100 mM MgCl2 and 0.04% bovine serum albumin (BSA)] containing 500 μM of enzyme substrate (didecanoyl glycerol) and 7.5 μM radiolabeled acyl-CoA substrate ([14C]decanoyl-CoA) was added to each well of a phospholipid-coated radiometric assay plate. A small aliquot of cell lysate having human DGAT1 activity (5 μg/well) obtained in above, of human liver microsomes having human DGAT1 activity (5 μg/well), or of mouse liver microsomes having mouse DGAT1 activity (5 μg/well) was added to the assay plate to start the reaction, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 60 minutes at 25° C. The reaction was terminated upon the addition of an equal volume (100 μL) of isopropanol. The plates were sealed, incubated overnight and counted the next morning on a liquid scintillation counter and luminometer.

DGAT1 catalyzes the transfer of the radiolabelled decanoyl group onto the sn-3 position of didecanoyl glycerol. The resultant radiolabeled tridecanoyl glycerol (tricaprin) preferentially binds to the hydrophobic coating on the phospholipid-coated radiometric assay plate. The proximity of the radiolabeled product to the solid scintillant incorporated into the bottom of the radiometric assay plate induced for release from the scintillant, which was measured in the liquid scintillation counter and luminometer.

Various concentrations (0.0008 μM, 0.004 μM, 0.02 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.5 μM, 2.5 μM and 10.0 μM) of the compounds of Examples were added to individual wells prior to the addition of the cell lysates, or human or mouse liver microsomes. IC50 values of the compounds were determined from concentration-dependent inhibition curves by using commercially available software. As shown in Table 1, the almost compounds of the present invention were found to exhibit DGAT1 inhibition with a low IC50 value (i.e., in the range of 100 nM or less).
